Should the New Orleans Pelicans go into next season without making any changes at small forward and rely on Quincy Pondexter coming off two knee surgeries to emerge as a dominant player?

You be the GM: But after going 30-52, it appears the Pelicans should finally go out and get an emerging veteran two-way wing player they have lacked having since the 2011-12 season after Trevor Ariza was traded.

If New Orleans is going to return to the playoffs, they need to upgrade their small forward spot. Dante Cunningham and Alonzo Gee were exceptional defenders this season, but the Pelicans need someone who can extend their defense better with reliable shooting from both mid-range and from behind the 3-point line. They need someone who can draw the attention of the defense, so teams won't be able overload and easily apply double teams on Anthony Davis like they were able to do this season.

In order for Alvin Gentry's offense to execute better next season, he admitted last month at his season-ending news conference a priority is acquiring a 6-foot-7 athletic wing player.
